Ryan Garcia said, “You know guys in regards to switching trainers, it had nothing to do with bad blood or ego or any hard feelings. It’s just, I would say time. That’s basically it, knowing that you got to get to work and you know Eddy [Reynoso] is very busy and I respect it and he has to do what he has to do. So you know, just move forward and keep grinding.”

Eddy Reynoso has sheltered some of the brightest names of boxing and his stable still boasts Oscar Valdez, Canelo Alvarez, Andy Ruiz Jr, amongst several others. That said, Garcia will no longer be a part of that family.
